anujit 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2005 (edited) DUDE!!!! THOSE ARE FEES THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY! Its not a discount!!!!! "All this convenience and security comes you at a very nominal charge. These charges are based on your bill amount and will be charged to you at the time of the transaction and are as follows: [Then comes your little table] The amount of fees will always be shown to you clearly at the time of each transaction and confirmation obtained from you before it is processed. " THIS WILL BE CHARGED TO YOU!!!! Not paid back to you! I heard the offer on Radio Mirchi too man so I wanted to check it out. But I didnt find the 50 buck discount anywhere!

linuxguy 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2005 duh! I know. But the bills are deducted directly from her bank account. She doesn't pay via the CC. Thats the reason shes not being charged anything by bill desk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Around Deewali time. This Rs. 50.00 offer is only an introductory offer not a regular one. They do charge a fee according to the bill we pay + service tax. It is benefecial if the amout is below 1500. It is true that through net banking we could pay many bills directly without the help of 'Billdesk'. I used to pay my bills through that. But now 'Billdesk' has taken over that and for they demand registration for payment of bills. regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Utsav 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2005 Pretty confusing! Almost all the banks are having bill payment or Personal Payee Payment facility. I'm using UTI Bank's iConnect to pay bills. They send me alerts through email as soon as a registered biller raises a bill with them. You may even schedule the payment for paying an amount later (on due date). All you need is to open an account and register the billers from the drop-down menu after activating iConnect. No charges--No Rebates--No Hassles! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
